It brings me great ...Thanks for your comment, Cyra! It brings me great joy that you like my blog! <br /><br />In response to your comment, I recommend that you check out my previous posts on this topic! I think that I have already answered your questions.<br /><br />I am extremely familiar with the idea of an 'unmoved mover' and the argument from the Second Law of Thermodynamics- and I used to be an advocate of those lines of thought.

The only acceptable answer is "we do not know" at this point."<br /><br />What about Primum movens? The "unmoved mover," which is generally accepted as "God"? It can be argued that it was this force that set everything into motion initially, and it just snowballed from there on.<br /><br />Also, there is the argument for the Second Law of Thermodynamics- in which in a closed system the measure of entropy of that system will either remain the same or increase unless an outside force were to act upon it. That Etch A Sketch doesn't just draw itself, you know?<br /><br />Have to play the Devil's Advocate every now and then. ^.^ Nice blog by the way.Cyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488044843121600342noreply@blogger.com
